Vic Zhou, who was the most "refined" of F4 appeared bearded and made many people speechless this time, this look made him appear old, but privately, Vic really likes this style, "Usually, when I don't have to work, ! I would be too lazy to shave and the lenght of my beard would depend on how long I can hide from my company's calls ! This time I didn't shave because my next character will be a musician, I'll need to look decadent, and to cultivate emotion, I stopped shaving some time ago, and this is the look I thought about by myself for this role !"
On the 6th of December, "The Last Night of Madam chin" aka "Jin Da ban" broadcasted on Dragon TV, this is the second piece of Fan Bing Bing'scompany, and also her first collaboration with Vic Zhou.
On the press conference, everyone were thoughtful and left the central place to Fan Bing Bing, and Vic was very humble but got pulled by "Fan Lao Ban (boss)" to sit beside her. Those two are currently single, thus work is for them the most important. Love being only a luxury christmas gift.
Vic Zhou, personification of Love ?
"Madam Chin" is Vic's first appearance in a Mainland production, to accomodate with this "little boyfriend"'s time slot, as the drama's producer and main actress, Fan Bing Bing even delayed the shooting and waited for him for 10 months !
In "Madam Chin" original version written by Bai Xian Yong, the role Vic Zhou is acting as, "Sheng Yue Ru", is a College student Chin Zhao Li is providing for, and only briefly appear, but in Fan Bing Bing's version of "Madam Chin" this role became a "returnee" and a very young man from a very wealthy family, and even share a very pure love with Chin Zhao Li, who will have many scenes such as suicidal jumping, cutting wrist, and kiss scenes.
About making such big changes Fan Bing Bing says bluntly that it was to expand Vic's scenes, "The original version is a very short novel, but the drama is 36 episodes long, so making changes was already very hard. To make every roles more full, not only Vic's scenes got changes, but all the other characters undergone very big transgformations, I think that it is a good direction, and it suits TV drama very well, and it is also an idea that the audience can accept."
Even if he acts as Fan Bing Bing first love, Vic still is a lady killer, every romances he had were spectacular, his on and off realtionship with Das still is remembered dearly by everyone. He got one rumor after another, but Vic never losen up his mouth to admit any, and persisted on the principle of not talking about his love life in a public scene.
When reporters were voicing doubts about his and Madam Chin's firsqt love to be "too experienced", Vic stuttered, not knowing what to say, but as Fan Bing Bing, who was beside him unrestrainly helped out, and saved Vic : "I also saw many netizens say they found it romantic, actually, every people point of view is different, so you don't need to explain, and you were born as the personification of love, you got shot by Cupid !"
The last sentence made Vic who was feeling awkward before leugh non-stop.
